Karen Hilltribe Elephant Sanctuary, Waterfall and Bamboo Rafting

This is a great combination day trip that includes a visit to the elephant sanctuary, a stop at the waterfall, and an enjoyable bamboo rafting experience

Highlight:

The Karen Hilltribe Elephant Sanctuary. Our sanctuary is located at Sobwin Village, Mae Wang district in Chiang Mai province.

For hundreds of years we the Karen people have lived and worked with elephants in Thailand. We want to share with you our love and respect for these truly amazing animals and at the same time help protect this endangered species.

At our sanctuary you will have the chance feed, bathe and give a healthy mud spa to our rescued elephants in a area of natural beauty just over an hour south of Chiang Mai’s historic old city.

Our elephants have been rescued from illegal logging camps in Mae Hong Son province, on the border of Myanmar.

In 1989 Thailand banned logging following mass deforestation that eventually led to flash floods and considerable loss of life. Despite the ban elephants are still used in the illegal logging industry, where they suffer both physical and mental abuse.

Your support enables us to shelter and provide for these wonderful animals at our sanctuary.
